Neometals is an innovative project developer. The Company’s purpose is to deliver stakeholder value by enabling the sustainable production of critical and valuable materials essential for a cleaner future. The Company is commercialising a portfolio of sustainable processing solutions that recycle and/or recover critical materials from high-value waste streams in parallel with the exploration and development of low impact mining operations at its Barrambie Gold Project.

The Company’s process development portfolio comprises:

• Lithium-ion Battery (“LiB”) Recycling Technology – patented technology being commercialised (Via Primobius GmbH) with German plant builder, SMS group GmbH. Primobius is commissioning Mercedes-Benz a 2,500tpa recycling plant.
• Lithium Chemicals – patented ELi Process™ co-owned 30% by Mineral Resources Ltd, aiming to produce battery quality lithium hydroxide from brine and/or hard-rock feedstocks at lowest quartile operating costs. Successfully completed Pilot scale tests and planning industrial validation with funding partners.
• Vanadium Recovery – patent pending hydrometallurgical process, aiming to produce high-purity vanadium pentoxide from steelmaking by-product at lowest-quartile operating cost and carbon footprint. Planning to exploit under technology licensing business model. Project financing process for first commercial plant in progress.

The Company’s upstream mineral asset has two mineralisation and mineral resource styles:

• Barrambie Gold – historic high-grade gold producing area in early 1900s, with very limited modern exploration. Maiden gold exploration targets highlighted potential for camp-scale brownfields gold discoveries. Active exploration program being undertaken in 2025. Proximal to camp-scale gold projects with existing processing infrastructure.
• Barrambie Titanium and Vanadium – world’s second highest grade hard-rock titanium deposit, currently in a divestment process.
